Jane recently received a request from a niece to sponsor her on one of those package holidays to an exotic location to do something vaguely adventurous "for charity" I thought her reply was absolutely spot-on; here it is: Dear xxxxx
Thank you for your email. Its great to hear that you want to do something to help people in the poor countries of the world. I would be delighted to bung you a few quid if you just give me the right answer to this question - how are you getting there? Not flying I hope. If the answer is no - hurrah, you've got your money and can skip to the end of this email. If the answer is yes please could you give me a few moments of your time and read on.

Letter published in the Plymouth Herald 17th March 2009 Dear Sir, I SUPPOSE those who know me will be expecting me to write bemoaning the introduction of cheap flights to London City from Plymouth. I have no criticism for the bosses of Air SouthWest or Plymouth Airport for seeing the business opportunity and going for it; it may be environmentally irresponsible but that is not what they are paid for. |

I was recently asked to write a few words about my key achievements as a Green and candidate for election. I really dislike petty self-aggrandisement and anyway I haven't really achieved anything tangible yet, certainly nothing of significance to a general audience, so this is what I came up with. I haven't had a reaction yet from the apparatchiks (yes we do have them) - I hope they use it. Roger Creagh-Osborne : Key Achievements |

I recently noticed that my trusty old Sony z530i phone battery was needing charging everythree days instead of once a week, so since my contract with O2 had run its full 18 months I thought I'd see if therewas a replacement as good. I've got a perfectly good filofax for mobile office use, and a small laptop for email and calaendars (though only manual calendar sync with the filofax is available), and a good digital SLR with proper lenses for decent phots so I don't really need anything but a phone. |

http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ Both the Amdusen NW Passage and the Northern Sea Route (NE Passage) have opened as melt continues close to last year's astonishing record.
Parry NW passage expected to open within next 2 weeks. Surface melt now completing but bottom melt means extent will continue to decline for 2-3 weeks. |
